Let's Rock!

This is what I am doing as well.  From what I have learned/gathered, you should try to play the guitar lazy, if you can put your fingers in a chord shape or bar it you do.  For some reason this particular one fatigues my thumb holding that bar.  May just  be building my strength back up, I'm not sure.

Question - how do you play this part? Barre on the 4th fret or keep shifting the index finger between B, G, and D strings?

 

I'm not the best with techniques, but I personally hold my index finger over all 3 stings, an pick between them an use my ring finger  for the 6th fret. But I'm still a noob when it comes to 6-string. I do what's easier for me not whats correct.

That rhythm score!  I'm going to be chasing that down the rest of the week!  Nice run!

 

 

 

 

start, rhy

hy guys...

 

here is my score...

 

https://slack-files.com/TEV06SA1G-FFEPJ4P1B-6b8d08b1bf

A surprisingly difficult song

 

 

 

Missing a lot of notes at the very end, my guitar seems to hate picking up notes above the 17th fret on high e. Could probably make up a percentage point from that alone.

 

@@badsign - Welcome to the Challenge.

 

Some improvements.

 

 

I hope to get this to 99+

 

This one is kicking my ass, but i like it.

 

 

Fun bass

 

This one also kicked my ass. 

Don't remember my score from the last time we played it, but i think i did better

 

little more +

Man I missed one note, something like the 5th to last note! The pressure got to me. Dose anyone else heart race when they're upon capturing 100%? 

 

Firsts and seconds.

 

 

 

 

I'm not a fan of Leo, so I will take it easy this week and play some Boys of Summer, a song that I love.
